I think you have a poor understanding of the political process. This is a representative republic, not a dictatorship ruled according to what you want and only what you want. It's a give and take political process. That means we will have to accept certain realities regarding gun laws, like it or not. What I do know is that over the course of the past decade, we have won all the battles that matter and made stupid meaningless little concessions to do it and we have done it by working with the system, not against it. I think the NRA has been instrumental in much of that success so I am hesitant to just abandon them considering how far we have come with them.

“What I do know is that over the course of the past decade, we have won all the battles that matter”

What are you talking about?

All the major battles in the 2nd Amendment in the Chicago and DC cases were brought by private citizens and funded by private citizens.

The NRA actively tried to scuttle the Heller case which was one of most important 2A Supreme Court victories of the past 100 years.
